' This invention relates tofgarment attaching devices wherebyy two garments' or two parts ofthe same garment may besecured .16 ytion fis to kprovide `an "improved ydevice of this characterl which is Vof such construction as to readily lend itself to manufacture from non-rustable materials, ytheV bodyl being preferablyfmade' o'f rubber :ori the like` Y while the remainder of the device maybe made yof non-,oXidizableQmetaL Celluloid, or

metal varniShed,l japannedt or covered. withv Celluloid', pyroxylin or some similar substance to preventoxidization.y

A third object'of the invention is to pro,-` vide an improved ydevice of this character which is small, simple in construction and ,which possesses no parts liable to 'get out of order. p f

With the above and other objects view as will be hereinafter apparent, the invention consists in generai'of certainv novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fullyfdescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings andspecifically claimed. y p

In the accompanyingdrawings like char` acters of reference indicate like parts in the Several views, and:

Figure 2 is a side view thereof.

Figure 3 is a face View of a modified l l and 4eiiicient device 0f the kind described form of the device. I

Figure 4 is Figure 3.

y second modification. f Figure 6 isa face view fication.

Figureiv is al Figure 6. f

In the embodiment of each form of the Figure 5 is a similar section showinga invention herein illustrated there is pro-A j 55 vided. a body portion 410 which is prefer- Qof the' twolvme'mbers, preferably the first,

of the same garment is placed over the M Ak still further modification consists,- in Figure 1 is a face view of one form ofv v`and 12 yand pivotally connecting' them to Ia centrally disposed hinge piece v17.

La` Section on thev une or 0f a third modisection von `the line ofl is desired tovn'clude Vall such as Aably made of `fabric,mrubber orl the like that, desired it ,maybe sewed or otherl wise securedtor a garment. However, I do not restrict myselfftothe'use; ofvfabric 0r rubber or to securingthis part .of .the device to. av garment In fact'this part may :be made kof wood, drietal, `Celluloid or any `other desirablel material." rit eachend of' this body lOthere" isfprovided abutton 11 preferably vof ovate form although variants I to such'forin may be used. i i

.-,Infconnection with these jbuttonsthere i isfprovidedfa',closeduloop j1'2 theends of which are slia'pedftd lit beneath theV heads of the buttons :511 while lthe intermediate portions are bowed asat 13 to produce'a springtactionl tending to' draw the loop ends `toward eachother. v It is preferred, 'foneaseof use, 'that one yshallfbe flexible yand in use a part of one garmentjis placed over a `button-'and one end of the loop. engaged thereover while n l part of a second garment or a secondpart second button andthe remaining end of the loop is vengaged ythereover.y Thus the two garments will be securely yet detachably connectedv l v In order to prevent loss of the loop the sides of the body .may be slotted as at y14k and small loops 15 may be run through such i y slots and around lthesides of the loop 12. Another methody of ,accomplishing the 16 throughthe body transversely thereof, the ends of this band receiving. the side por-y tions of the loop l2.

separating the loop 12into two parts'12lr There has thus been provided a simple and forthe kpurpose specilied.

Itis obviousthat minor changes maybe made in the form vand construction of the' come within the scopeclairlnedy u Having ,i thus described what is claimed as new, is: il

#the invention,`

properly llt) same ,object is to lead a single endless band .90 i

l. In combination, a base, a pair of spaced buttons onsaid base, and a loophaving end portions adapted to fit around the shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the buttons.

2. In combination, a base, a pair of spaced buttons on said base, and a loop having end portions adapted to fit around the shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the buttons, the middle portion being bowed to provide spring means to draw the ends of the loop toward each other.

. 3. In combination, a. base7 pair of spaced buttons on said base, and a loop having end portions adapted to fit around the Shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the buttons, said base being formed rof flexible material such as rubber or the like.

ll. In combination, a base, a pair orn spaced buttons on said base, a loop having end portions adapted to lit around the shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the buttons, said base being` formed of flexible material such as rubber or the like, the middle portion being bowed to provide spring meansto draw the ends ol' the loop toward each other.

5. ln combination, a base, a pair of spaced buttons on said base, a loo vhaving end portionsadapted to fit around the shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the louttons, the middlel portion being bowed to provide spring means to draw the ends of the loop toward each other, and means toA inovably secure the loop to the base.

7. ln combination, a base, a pair of spaced buttons on said base, ar loop having end portions adapted to it around the Shanks of both said buttons when engaged on the buttons, said base being formed of flexible inaterial such as rubber or the like, and means to movably secure the loop to the base.

8. ln combination, a base, a pair of spaced buttons on said base, a. loop having end portions adapted to lit around the shanks of both said. buttons when vengaged on the buttons, said base being formed of llexible material such as rubber or the like, the iniddle portion being bowed to provide spring means to draw the ends ofthe loop toward each other, and means to movably. secure the loop to the base.
